The Coshocton County Fair

When I was growing up our house was across the street from the fairgrounds. I used to sneak in under the fence….never did have to pay to play at the fair. My father showed me where the hole was located…I expect he dug it there when he was a boy! My grandfather build our house in 1906 and raised his family there and in his turn so did my father! I have pictures of dad in knee pants playing just where I played growing up. It was hard to find a place to hide around there…he knew them all! (smile)

The fair was wonderful…I felt like a kid again. I used to enter things in the fair and wait with ‘butterflies’ to see how I did. I knew just how this little girl felt standing beside her cow…waiting to go into the ring!
